8 Bits

Every day I look the same,
And the sun is always shining,
I look out, and there is 3D,
I keep looking down and miss my shadow,

Every day my hair is fine,
But one dot keeps changing colors,
I know my heritage is noble,
But still I feel like I'm a clone.

8 bits are enough for me,
This is not where I should be,
My life is more than information,
I want a life beyond emulation.

I look out and everything's too fast for me,
And I feel there must be more,
Every day I dream of where I've come from,
Now I know I'm just an emulation.

The next time I see the serial cable,
I jump on the train and leave this world,
Now I'm an original, I'm like my ancestors,
And my hair is finally all yellow.

8 bits are enough for me,
This is not where I should be,
My life is more than information,
I want a life beyond emulation.
